Introduction

Hwangnyeongsan Mountain is
located in the heart of Busan and stretches across Busanjin-gu, Nam-gu, and
Suyeong-gu Districts. With an altitude of 427m, the mountain is the second highest mountain
in the Geumnyeon Mountain Range. The mountain is mostly made up of andesite
and the summit is relatively flat. Some parts of the mountain are also
characterized by exposed bedrocks.

The northeast part of Hwangnyeongsan Mountain is connected to Geumnyeonsan Mountain. Because
of its geologic age, the terrain has been dissected by river valleys, resulting
in less sharp surfaces. Several smaller hills and ridges can also be found
scattered around the area.

Hwangnyeongsan Mountain isn't very high so it only
takes about two to three hours to get to the top. At the foot of the mountain, one can
find a citizen's recreation area and a youth training center. Choosing which
mountain trail to take depends on the transportation options available to you.

The
bongsudae (beacon fire station) constructed on top of the mountain was an important
means of communication for the military in 1422. This bongsudae was used to
communicate with the bongsudae on Haeundae's Ganbiosan Mountain (east), Gubongsan
Mountain (west), and Beomeosa Temple and Gyemyeongsan Mountain (north).

Every year, events such as the sansinje (ritual for the mountain god)
and the beacon lighting ceremony are held on Hwangnyeongsan Mountain.
